area nssa

Use this command to define a not-so-stubby area (NSSA). To remove an NSSA, use the no form without any optional keywords. To remove an optional attribute, use the no form without the relevant keyword.

Syntax

area area-idnssa [no-redistribution] [default-information-originate] no area area-idnssa [no-redistribution] [default-information-originate]

area-id- Identifies the NSSA.

(The area ID must be in the form of an IP address.)

no-redistribution- Use this keyword when the router is an NSSA Area Border Router (ABR) and you want the redistribute command to import routes only into normal areas, and not into the NSSA. In other words, this keyword prevents the NSSA ABR from advertising external routing information (learned via routers in other areas) into the NSSA.

default-information-originate- When the router is an NSSA Area Border Router (ABR) or an NSSA Autonomous System Boundary Router (ASBR), this parameter causes it to generate Type-7 default LSA into the NSSA. This default provides a route to other areas within the AS for an NSSA ABR, or to areas outside the AS for an

NSSA ASBR.

Command Mode

Router Configuration

Default Setting

No NSSA is configured.

Command Usage

All routers in a NSSA must be configured with the same area ID.

An NSSA is similar to a stub, because when the router is an ABR, it can send a default route for other areas in the AS into the NSSA using the default- information-originatekeyword. However, an NSSA is different from a stub, because when the router is an ASBR, it can
